One person above Qing Huang Ting

Chapter 943 Rebirth, Judge Assists Yuan

The world of Bad Guys is one of the worlds that Hu Xiuwu first explored.

At that time, Hu Xiuwu had not yet transcended to become an immortal; he was merely a gifted extraordinary person. Unable to directly change the existing order, he could only go with the flow, leveraging the power of various regional warlords to achieve his goals amidst the chaos.

Although Hu Xiuwu did not yet have the power to change the world at that time, fortunately, the Shangqing and Penglai sects had a deep foundation and their passed-down techniques were exquisite. Therefore, with the help of the "Seven Killing Orders of Gods and Ghosts" and the "Youyue Sword Technique", Hu Xiuwu was able to deal with the Bad Commander Yuan Tiangang.

After seizing Yuan Tiangang's identity, Hu Xiuwu was able to utilize the power of the Bad Guys organization, which was spread throughout the Nine Provinces, to make the Bad Guys world a lower-level world of the mortal realm.

However, Hu Xiuwu did not kill Yuan Tiangang at the time; he merely sealed him in a Kunlun divine wood coffin and threw him into the treasure vault of the Zhou Jue Yin Tian Palace.

For Hu Xiuwu in the past, Yuan Tiangang was a useless person.

Once he is released, given Yuan Tiangang's obsession with the revival of the Tang Dynasty, if he were to participate in the construction of Luo Fengtian, he would inevitably enrich himself at the expense of the public good. For the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, Yuan Tiangang would probably be willing to suffer in hell himself.

If Hu Xiuwu were to employ Yuan Tiangang, it would be to have him assist him in managing Luo Fengtian and accelerating its development. He would not want to waste any extra energy supervising Yuan Tiangang.

That would instead trap Hu Xiuwu in Luo Fengtian, preventing him from expanding into the fantasy world outside and obtaining massive resources to develop Luo Fengtian.

But Hu Xiuwu was still somewhat reluctant to kill Yuan Tiangang to end the matter once and for all.

That was the counterpart of his Shangqing School's founder's fantasy world, whose talent and wisdom were absolutely no less than the real founder Yuan Tiangang, and whose divination skills were so powerful that they could predict events three hundred years in the future.

Yuan Tiangang was able to leave behind enough strength and wealth to restore the Tang Dynasty after its fall. If Li Xingyun hadn't insisted on living a carefree life, the Tang Dynasty would have been restored long ago.

Therefore, Hu Xiuwu left Yuan Tiangang in the Zhou Jue Yin Tian Palace.

Now, Luo Fengtian has gotten back on track, the world of Bad Guys has settled down, and the Tang Dynasty has been restored. However, the one who ascended the throne was not Li Xingyun, but Li Xiang, the older brother born to Li Xingyun's palace maid.

Luo Fengtian is now a behemoth, capable of suppressing Yuan Tiangang, so Hu Xiuwu naturally wants to use him.

Yuan Tiangang has been sleeping in Zhou Jue Yin Tian Palace for so long, it's time to pay his rent.

However, this appearance still needs to be changed.

Hu Xiuwu took out the green lotus root, rubbed it into a bright green liquid, opened his palm, put it in front of his mouth, and blew hard.

The medicinal liquid fell in a flurry, as fine as grains of salt, drifting through the air.

Yuan Tiangang was enveloped in the mist of the lotus root medicinal liquid. The liquid fell on his body and immediately disappeared like snow falling into a furnace, being greedily absorbed by him.

Yuan Tiangang had not yet fully grasped his situation. Sensing the spiritual energy of the lotus root in the air, he was controlled by his body's instincts and took a deep breath.

The Jade Lotus Elixir produced in the Black Myth world is the main ingredient of the Jade Lotus Golden Elixir, which can grant immortality.

The elixir of immortality refined by Yuan Tiangang has flaws and defects. Not only does it cause the internal energy to run rampant, leading to the meridians running wildly and burning the skin, but it also requires regular dual cultivation to replenish yin and yang in order to achieve immortality.

Yuan Tiangang's medical skills were not the problem, but even the most skilled cook cannot cook without rice, and he could not overcome the shortcomings of the elixir of immortality.

In the world of Bad Guys, there is no elixir as miraculous as the Jade Lotus Root. Yuan Tiangang spent his entire life unable to overcome the drawbacks of the elixir of immortality.

Now that he has inhaled the purest medicinal power of the lotus root, Yuan Tiangang's body, which has been imbued with the elixir of immortality, has had its latent restorative power, capable of reshaping bones and flesh, reawakened.

Skin regrowed, binding flesh and blood, reshaping and softening it. Every muscle was realigned, thick black hair hung down to the waist, the eyebrows and beard of the Bad Commander that had disappeared for three hundred years reappeared, the eyes that had been dry for three hundred years regained their moisture, the teeth that had been cold for three hundred years regained their warmth, and the touch of eyelids and lips was felt again.

The once upright, serious, and outstanding Huojingling Yuan Tiangang has returned.

Moreover, Yuan Tiangang used the true energy of his self-created "Tiangang Technique" to circulate through his meridians and examine his body. He discovered that his Yin and Yang were in balance, he was upright and peaceful, and his vitality was boundless. He could live forever without needing to replenish his Yang with Yin energy. This was exactly the state he hoped to achieve when he first researched the elixir of immortality.

The restoration of his appearance and the ability to live forever should have been a joyous occasion, but Yuan Tiangang, the leader of the Bad Guys, did not show much happiness. He only glanced at Hu Xiuwu, whose appearance and temperament had changed drastically, before closing his eyes and letting the tears moisten them to soothe them.

Yuan Tiangang activated the Heavenly Gang Technique, channeling the medicinal power to adjust his body and heal the hidden injuries caused by the elixir of immortality over the past three hundred years. He calmly said:
"I originally thought you came from overseas, which is why there was no detailed information about you in the Bad People's intelligence. Now it seems that your origins are even more incredible than I imagined!"

"Is this the place where the dead return, deep within the netherworld, at the foot of Mount Tai? How should I address you?"

While reshaping his skin and rebuilding his foundation to achieve yin-yang balance, Yuan Tiangang multitasked with his mind. With just a few glances upon waking, he had already memorized the entire surrounding environment, built a model in his mind, and was reviewing the events.

Although the Cave of Ten Thousand Poisons also has wondrous creations such as the God of War and the Strange Altar, it definitely does not have a creation like the Jade Lotus.

There were also the faint ghostly figures around him, the strange yin energy that Yuan Tiangang could sense, the feng shui that defied common sense, the eerie celestial phenomena outside the window, the jade dragon that appeared and disappeared in the chaotic clouds, and the constellations that were unlike any other place in the world.

Everything points to the most incredible truth.

He has left this world and come to a place where no living person can go.

Zi Zhu'er, dressed in a flowing, wide-sleeved fairy dress, appeared behind Hu Xiuwu at some point. Upon hearing this, she immediately said:
"Before you stands the Lord of Luo Fengtian, the Emperor of Beiyin Fengdu, the Emperor of Ziwei, a Great Luo Golden Immortal, the Supreme Being of the Three Realms!"

If it weren't for the extraordinary nature of the place, Yuan Tiangang would have thought he had fallen into the hands of the Xuanming Sect the moment he heard the name of the Northern Yin Fengdu Emperor.

But now, although Yuan Tiangang was inwardly shaken and half-believing, he remained outwardly calm and composed: "I see. May I ask what Your Majesty needs from this old man?"

Hu Xiuwu asked, "Would Yuan Tiangang be willing to enter Fengdu City and serve as an assistant judge?"

After a moment of contemplation, Yuan Tiangang said, "I am deeply honored that my frail body has been recognized by His Majesty. I am willing to dedicate myself to serving His Majesty."

Seeing this, Hu Xiuwu shook his head.

He was never worried that Yuan Tiangang would refuse him.

Hu Xiuwu was worried that Yuan Tiangang, in exercising his power as the Assistant Judge, might use his personal interests and abuse his authority in Luofeng to benefit the Tang Dynasty.

Yuan Tiangang's quick agreement confirmed Hu Xiuwu's earlier concerns.

That old guy definitely didn't have any good intentions!
